Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Phineas Taylor (PT) Barnum would have loved to do business with this fellow. Barnum's American Museum could have added these to the Fiji mermaid section - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiji_mermaid.

I've heard this called "crypto-taxidermy", and it's not entirely unknown in the US. After all, what American truck stop would be complete without a jackalope head on the wall?
